The students began the semester off returning back to Ancient Asia. Ancient China is a wonderfully exciting topic as it is so rich in culture and history. Once again due to my travels in China, in the summer of 2007, I have been able to infuse my own personal accounts of China and my travels there into our discussions. In addition, we looked over pictures and artifacts which I had acquired while I was abroad. The students seem to enjoy hearing personal accounts and are very eager to learn more about this foreign culture. As an assignment, I had the students make their own mock journal diary of Marco Polo. They had to pretend as if they had discovered some foreign city and culture; some students have quite the imagination.
